Democratic Justice Party

The Democratic Justice Party (DJP) was a national conservative political party in South Korea that was active from 1 September 1980 to 22 January 1990. The party was founded by Chun Doo-hwan following Park Chung-hee's assassination, and the political system was rigged heavily in the favor of the DJP. However, in 1987, DJP presidential candidate Roh Tae-woo promised democratic elections, and the DJP merged into the New Korea Party in 1990.
